It depends on which isotope you are asking about. Some decay through alpha, some decay through beta, some decay through other processes. All can leave the nucleus in an excited state, resulting in gamma emission.
From weakest to strongest decay, the order is: Gamma decay - involves the emission of high-energy photons. Beta decay - involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons). Alpha decay - involves the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei).
Alpha and beta decay are often accompanied by the emission of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that helps to stabilize the nucleus after alpha or beta decay.
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
The four types of nuclear decay are alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and neutron decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle, beta decay involves the emission of beta particles (either electrons or positrons), gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, and neutron decay involves the emission of a neutron.
alpha, beta, gamma.
Unstable isotopes become more stable isotopes or different elements when they decay through processes such as alpha or beta decay. The decay results in the emission of radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles and gamma rays.

Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
Beta decay is a non-example of alpha decay. Beta decay involves the emission of a beta particle (either an electron or a positron) from an unstable atomic nucleus, whereas alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus) from a nucleus.

Americium-241 has an alpha decay associated with gamma.
